So here’s the good news: The Rams no longer are the NFL’s 32nd-ranked offense. On the strength of a 308-yard outing against Cleveland, the Rams have moved out of the cellar.
OK, it helped that San Francisco managed a measly 142 yards in last Thursday’s 20-3 loss to Seattle. But the Rams are now 31st in total offense, moving ahead of the last-place 49ers, who come to town Sunday for a noon kickoff at the Edward Jones Dome.
No truth to the rumor that first downs in the Rams-49ers contest will be marked by stoppages in play, and party favors will be handed out after scores.
